The total-though short of their old 190-city CBS line-up-includes most of the major U.S. population centers and some 90% of all U.S. households equipped with TV sets. Unlike most spliced-together syndication deals, the Smothers link-up will be simultaneous (air time: 8 p.m., everywhere) to allow for topical references and nationwide promotion and sponsorship...
